I just read a full two page article yesterday on this subject, in my Electronic mag (Elektor) ! :-O This is silly... especialy more since there are TWO conventions: an international one and a French one. So if I use the French one I will be correct, but will nonetheless confuse the rest of the world even more than they already are. I won't use Ki/Mi/Ti just because it looks and sounds horrible to my ears and eyes, and because I never found that people were *that* confused by the old system. It was clear to technical people for which it mattered, and confusing to non-technical people but the latter kind don't really need to know anyway. With this new system, it will be even less clear to non-technical people, but more of a problem, it will start to become unclear to even the techies too ! :-/ I say go back to the old units and prefixes, the new system's solution is worse than the problem it tried to solve, IMHO of course ;-) -- Vince _______________________________________________ AVR-chat mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-chat
